[edit] Cixous LGBT

I see that Cixous has been added to the LGBT philosophers category. I'm aware that there is some treatment of lesbianism in Cixous's work, but on what basis is this characterisation made? Buffyg 11:50, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

That 'x' is very tricky for English-speakers. I suggest a little pronunciation key in IPA. -ZA

[edit] Section on Influences - Pointless?

Much of the material in the section of Influences does not seem to present how these thinkers have impacted the work of Hélène Cixous. The section on Freud is sounds likes something on a fashcard for an intro to pysch class than something that should be in this article. --chemica 01:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC) I respectfully disagree. You can't talk about a critique of the normative psychological or literary discourse without saying what that discourse is. Lacan and Derrida sections are fine; you're right that Freud could be better, but instead of subtracting we should simply say what Cixous does after taking this as her point of departure.Sardino (talk) 18:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
